The New England Patriots began working out with the Seattle Seahawks without an official practice.
But if head coach Mike Vrabel’s Super Bowl LX team had held one in Foxborough on Wednesday, tight end Hunter Henry, offensive tackles Morgan Moses and Thayer Munford Jr., as well as linebackers Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane would not have participated.

And along with receiver Mack Hollins, quarterback Drake Make would have been limited due to an injury to his throwing shoulder.
Here’s the estimated injury report as the Feb. 8 kickoff at Levi’s Stadium approaches.

A handful are projected to be sidelined for the Patriots on Wednesday. The two captains on the defensive side of the ball watch as Santa Clara approaches.
Landry, who finished the regular season atop the roster with 8.5 sacks, 19 quarterback hits and tied for the lead with 10 tackles for loss, did not practice before the AFC Championship Game. The veteran starter has battled a knee issue since fall turned to winter and was ruled out for the visit to Mile High. As for Spillane, who missed a month before returning to the playoffs, the veteran off-ball starter exited after 13 defensive snaps against the Denver Broncos. An ankle injury sent him to the blue medical tent and locker room late in the first quarter before it was announced that his return was questionable.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION
Patriots
-
QB Drake Maye (right shoulder)
-
WR Mack Hollins (abdomen)
sea ​​hawks
-
TE Eric Saubert (hamstring)
-
OT Josh Jones (ankle, knee)
-
LB Drake Thomas (shoulder)
While Hollins went from injured reserve to catch two passes for a team-high 51 yards at Empower Field, his quarterback exited the 10-7 win with a right shoulder injury. Maye has been sacked 15 times since the playoffs began and accounted for 86 passing yards, 65 rushing yards and New England’s only touchdown during his last start.
“I feel good,” the 23-year-old told WEEI on Tuesday. “We got some extra rest. I don’t really think it’s the game. I think it’s just the preparation of almost, including training camp, 30 straight weeks of throwing and four days a week. It can add up. But I got a little more rest and I feel good and ready to go to the Super Bowl.”

FULL PARTICIPATION
Patriots
-
RB Terrell Jennings (concussion protocol – IR return)
-
DT Joshua Farmer (hamstring – IR return)
sea ​​hawks
-
LB Chazz Surratt (ankle – IR return)
A pair of Patriots returning from injured reserve would have been the only full participants Wednesday.
The organization opened Jennings’ 21-day practice window ahead of the divisional round. The second-year running back, who cleared concussion protocol, had questionable playing status entering last weekend but was not activated. The same was true for Farmer as he recovered from a hamstring injury in December. The rookie defensive tackle returned to practice ahead of the AFC Championship Game and also hopes to return to the 53-man roster.
